Merry Christmas everyone! In our latest episode of the podcast, we chat about the festive - and not so festive! - goings on in Weatherfield between the 23rd and 27th December (Episodes #11,447 - 11,453). Before we dive into our usual Street Talk segment, we've got a bit of a Christmas treat for you: an interview with new Corrie producer Kate Brooks! When we were at the recent press day, we were able to grab Kate for five minutes to ask her about her vision for the show now she's at the helm - tune in to find out what she had to say! Up next on the podcast, it's business as usual with our recap of the week's episodes - and what a great week it was! The biggest event, of course, was Gail's departure from Weatherfield after 50 glorious years on the show. Did it manage to hit all the right notes, and what did we make of that very special cameo at the end of Tuesday's episode? Second billing this week went to the Battersby sisters, who came to blows in a Christmas Day punch up at the Bistro. As fans of both characters, we've decided that it's best not to pick a side here - we prefer to just sit back and enjoy the chaos unfold! Also this week, Shona admits to David she's been unfaithful, Mason tries his best to ingratiate himself to Carla and Lisa, and Daisy finds herself in the middle of her very own 'Who's The Daddy?' story! Unfortunately, we had to cut the podcast short after Street Talk as we had a five hour drive ahead of us, so no news or feedback this week - hopefully, normal service will resume next episode! 00:15:17 - Kate Brooks Interview 00:26:29 - StreetTalk

After 5 years of hosting the ISO Show, Mel Blackmore will be taking a step back as she focuses on her sustainability related endeavors. She's passing the baton onto our new host – Ian Battersby. Ian is a Senior isologist at Blackmores, and while relatively new to the team, he has a wealth of Standard and ISO related knowledge to share with you all. Today we Introduce Ian Battersby as the new host for the ISO Show and learn about his background in Standards and ISO.     You'll learn ·      Taking a step back ·      Introduction to Steph Churchman ·      Introduction to Ian Battersby ·      What Standards has Ian worked with? ·      What Sectors has Ian worked in?   Resources ·      Isologyhub     In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Join the isologyhub – To get access to a suite of ISO related tools, training and templates. Simply head on over to isologyhub.com to either sign-up or book a demo. [02:05] Episode summary: After 5 years of the ISO Show, Mel Blackmore is handing the hosting baton over to Ian Battersby    [02:25] Interim host – Ian will be the main host going forward, but there will be additions from Blackmores' Communication Manager – Steph Churchman. You may recognise her from recent episode such as: ·      Top 10 Reasons to use ISO 42001 AI Management ·      Top ISO Standard Trends in the Data Centre Industry Steph will be sharing findings from our own research, standards updates and conducting interviews with our isologists. [03:35] An Introduction to Ian Battersby – Ian has been working for Blackmores since August 2023. Although he is meant to be part-time, he's had a very busy first few months here! Ian began working in British Aerospace, specifically manufacturing, in 1984. He later decided to return to university to study electrical and electronic engineering, which was promptly dropped. His return to BAE lasted a few years before he moved onto the civil service for the Department of Health, working with them to conduct safety investigations and helped to create a broader risk profile. When he moved to work with the NHS, firstly, with the litigation authority setting up governance and risk standards and then as a risk manager. Surprisingly, after moving up a few levels, he decided to move onto run a restaurant! A Curry House to be specific, but after a year of rather stressful work that ended up costing a lot more than expected, he returned to work within the construction industry which is where he became more involved with ISO Standards. From there he went onto work in manufacturing of high pressure pumps for a while before moving onto an organisation who rant he estate for the Department of Work and Pensions. In the end, Ian left them due to being unable to live the life he wanted to live. [05:15] What Standards has Ian worked with? – He started with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 (now ISO 45001). [06:00] Digital Nomad – Ian currently splits his time between Leeds in the UK and Malaga in Spain. Having a lot of experience working remotely in previous industries, this leap didn't impede on his work in any way. [07:15] What other Standards has Ian worked with? – He has assisted with ISO 44001 (Collaborative Business Management), but admittedly it was not his favorite ISO Standard to work with. It's one of the rare instances in ISO where the Standard doesn't quite align with others. [08:00] What Sectors has Ian worked in – Ian's extensive work history has afforded him the opportunity to work in a number of sectors, including: ·      Construction and Fit out ·      Manufacturing ·      Estate Management ·      Private enterprise ·      Healthcare / NHS ·      Facilities With this list growing at a rapid pace since his introduction at Blackmores! [09:45] What's a big challenge that Ian's had to overcome in the past? – In terms of ISO, it has to be Leadership. Ian's found that to always be an issue within businesses attempting to implement ISO Standards. A good looking Management System will only go so far without leadership commitment. While working in facilitating Standards for an organisation, you won't be implementing the whole system yourself. It's more a case of delivering through others, the organisation controls and delivers their own processes and improvements, and so it's imperative that Leadership are also embedding and encouraging these actions. Ian will be going more in-depth on this topic in a future episode. If you'd like to book a demo for the isologyhub, simply contact us and we'd be happy to give you a tour.

A word of caution from the Five Eyes leaders, as they detail fears of cyber espionage. The head of MI5 revealed more than 20,000 Brits have been approached covertly online by Chinese spies. Australia also recently deported a Chinese national recruited to spy on a research institution. Massey University security expert John Battersby says New Zealand has reason to be concerned, as the nation can be naïve about potential threats.  "The Chinese are definitely doing it, among a range of others. And a number of countries are doing it in order to get security secrets- but they're also looking for R&D tech secrets." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Flotation technology is a type of pneumatic technology, and is remarkable different from the tank tech that has been well established. It is far more efficient. During lockdowns and travel restrictions, new measures were needed in order to push this environmentally beneficial technology. But there was only so much that could be done remotely.

  A 23-year-old died from injuries sustained in a Sunday car wreck in west Cobb, police announced. Amarjeet S. Ranhotra of Acworth was killed in the crash, which occurred on Due West Road near its intersection with Lanesborough Drive, according to the Cobb County Police Department. Ranhotra was driving eastbound in a 2002 silver Honda Odyssey, police said. At around 7:30 a.m., while negotiating a left curve, Ranhotra lost control and crossed into the westbound lane. The right side of the Honda collided with the front of a brown 2012 Ford F-250. Ranhotra was fatally injured and pronounced dead at the scene, police said. The driver of the Ford was taken to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital with injuries described as non-life threatening.   A Smyrna man was arrested Saturday evening, accused by police of causing a crash at South Cobb Parkway and Spinks Drive that left another man seriously injured. Selvin De Jesus Herrera-Lopez, 31, is charged with seven misdemeanors, including DUI, open container and reckless driving, according to jail records. Marietta police say his 2021 Toyota Tacoma struck the rear of 62-year-old Christopher Okabah's Toyota Camry around 6:50 p.m. Saturday. Marietta police said Herrera-Lopez was speeding, traveling south on Cobb Parkway, when he failed to yield for Okabah. After being struck by Herrera-Lopez, Okabah's vehicle struck the rear of a stopped 2020 Jeep Gladiator driven a 41-year-old man from Florida. According to police, Herrera-Lopez's truck rolled over once before landing back on its wheels and coming to rest on the side of the road. Okabah sustained serious injuries and was transported to Wellstar Kennestone Hospital for treatment, police said. Herrera-Lopez and the Florida man sustained minor injuries. Hat tricks are usually kept for soccer or hockey. It's not often you find one on the football field, but that is exactly what happened over a 7 minute period in McEachern's 26-0 victory over Alpharetta in the second round of the Class 7A flag football playoffs on Tuesday. Senior Kye Giddens intercepted three passes on three consecutive Alpharetta drives. She set up two short touchdown drives on the first two, but on the third, she returned it 25 yards for a touchdown with 40.3 seconds left in the first half. The effort helped the Indians remain undefeated at 18-0, and they will host Milton, which they beat 7-6 in the season opener, in the state quarterfinals on Thursday.  Giddens, who is mainly a wide receiver on offense, made one of her few times on defense count against Alpharetta. Crunch time came with 7:39 to play in the first half. Amber Kirkpatrick had just thrown her first touchdown pass of the game to give the Indians a 7-0 lead. On the first play of the ensuing Alpharetta drive, Giddens grabbed her first interception to set the offense up with a short field.  Two plays later, Kirkpatrick connected with De'Aysia Williams for a touchdown with 3:48 to play for a 13-0 lead. The win was the 12th shutout of the season, and now the Indians will try to do something they haven't done before. All three years they have advanced to the state quarterfinals, but they have yet to advance to the semifinals.  Of the eight teams remaining in the Class 7A playoffs, McEachern is one of four Cobb County teams still alive.  Marietta advanced to quarterfinals by beating Wheeler 26-0 in opener, then defeated Archer 6-0. Allatoona downed Westlake and Centennial by identical 26-7 scores, and Pope (beat Osborne 27-7 in Round 1 and followed by rolling past Grayson 32-12.  The Blue Devils will host North Gwinnett, the Buccaneers will host Roswell and the Greyhounds will travel to Blessed Trinity on Thursday. The winners will advance to the semifinals December 5 at the Atlanta Falcons training facility in Flowery Branch A new bike station in Cobb's commercial hub was unveiled Tuesday, now the eighth of the network. The station is next to the Battery's Silver Deck on Circle 75 Parkway, steps from Truist Park. Riders will have direct access to the Cobb Galleria across the pedestrian bridge over I-285, along with dozens of miles of trails around the area. With the launch of the station by the Cumberland Community Improvement District (CID), it brings the program's total fleet up to about 40 bikes. As with the rest of Cumberland's fleet, the bikes are unlocked using a QR code printed on their body. The first hour of a ride is free, followed by a fee of $3 per hour. Ali Nuckles of Georgia Commute Options, a group that aims to reduce pollution by encouraging alternative transportation modes, said the bike share program would help reduce emissions and traffic. Other stations are located near the Galleria, Cumberland Mall, the Rottenwood Creek trailhead, and on the far side of the Battery. The CID hopes to soon open a ninth station along Akers Mill Road, between Cumberland Boulevard and Powers Ferry Road. That expansion will bring the fleet up to 45 bikes. Interested residents can look up the full trail network along with bike station locations at cumberlandtrails.org. On Giving Tuesday, the day of charitable giving that follows the commercial holidays of Black Friday and Cyber Monday, a Cobb County YMCA distributed food to local families at Smyrna's Brumby Elementary. The Northeast Cobb Family YMCA distributes food every week. This Tuesday, each family could receive fresh onions, apples, cabbage, cucumbers and bread, along with canned goods. Gayle Battersby, the director of operations at the Northeast Cobb Family YMCA in east Cobb, said they partner with the Atlanta Community Food Bank to provide the produce. YMCAs across the country scaled up their food distribution programs in March of 2020. Battersby said when the pandemic hit, the number of families requiring help shot up. At one point, the Northeast Cobb YMCA was providing food to about 475 Cobb families weekly. That number declined as the pandemic receded, but she said it recently spiked again to around 270 as the cost of rent and gas has increased. The food is distributed almost entirely by a team of volunteers, and the funds for the program are raised entirely by the Northeast Cobb YMCA. According to volunteer Joan Cotter, the crowd of people receiving food on Tuesday was small compared to the usual turnout. She said last week, before Thanksgiving, the volunteers had to organize the cars into five separate lines. On Giving Tuesday, the Journal counted 15 cars in line 30 minutes after the event began.   Troop 353 held an Eagle Scout ceremony on November 19 at Burnt hickory Baptist Church. The scouts were: Tyler Clement, a senior at Hillgrove High School, whose project was a Tranquility Garden at Cobb Hospital. Jacob Fisher, a senior at Allatoona High School, whose project was building a Gaga Ball pit at Due West United Methodist Church. Luke White, a senior at Living Science Academy, whose project was a playground fence at Cobb Vineyard Church in Kennesaw. Sean Cauffiel, a senior at Harrison High School, whose project was a Butterfly Garden at Ford Elementary. Daniel Hurley, a senior at Harrison High School, whose project was an outdoor clasroom at Ford Elementary. All of these scouts started together as Cub Scouts, rose through the ranks and crossed over to Troop 353. They all stayed in their own patrol and made Eagle together. #CobbCounty #Georgia #LocalNews      -            -            -            -            -            The Marietta Daily Journal Podcast is local news for Marietta, Kennesaw, Smyrna, and all of Cobb County.             Subscribe today, so you don't miss an episode! MDJOnline            Register Here for your essential digital news.            https://www.chattahoocheetech.edu/  https://cuofga.org/ https://www.esogrepair.com/ https://www.drakerealty.com/           Find additional episodes of the MDJ Podcast here.             This Podcast was produced and published for the Marietta Daily Journal and MDJ Online by BG Ad Group   For more information be sure to visit https://www.bgpodcastnetwork.com              See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
